Pffft.. We are not dumb here. Romney's assets are worth in the millions. And donating his salary to charity is:
1) chump change
2) A tax write-off on his 1099 income tax return.
Even a caveman knows that. And we are supposed to believe that?
From CNN:
DOVER, New Hampshire (AP) -- Republican Mitt Romney, conceding that his business career helped him make more money than he expected, said Tuesday he would likely give his presidential salary -- and more -- to charity.
During a question-and-answer session with Liberty Mutual employees, Romney said that despite his personal wealth -- his assets likely will total $190 million to $250 million -- he has committed himself to public service, from head of the 2002 Winter Olympics to one-term governor of Massachusetts.
"When I got started, I went to school and I never anticipated that I'd be as financially successful as I was, and then my business went far better than I expected it would," Romney, a former venture capitalist, told a woman who asked him how the country's political system could be corrected if most of the presidential candidates are millionaires.
